I’ve just returned from Mozambique where I participated in a Habitat for Humanity build. My participation in this build was sponsored by Mr. Rooter Plumbing, York and Durham Region and the Kawartha City Lakes. Chiconela, the village where we built 2 houses is about 30 kilometres outside of Xia Xia which is located about 4 hours north of the Mozambique capital of Maputo. Our team of 13 Canadians came from locations across the country, literally from Victoria to Halifax. We shared the common desire to help make a difference in the lives of others far less fortunate than ourselves, in a way that is long lasting and which will significantly improve the quality of life for these families.
